President Uhuru Kenyatta has assented to seven Bills Friday, among them the Bribery Bill 2016 passed by legislators in December which prescribes severe penalties for public and private sector bribery.

Tabled by Leader of Majority Aden Duale in April, the Act reprimands those convicted of bribery with a Sh5 million fine or 10 years in jail alongside other punitive measures.
